Ten-man Penybont bow out of Europe
Ten-man Penybont have been knocked out of Europe after a 4-1 aggregate defeat to Lithuania's Kauno Zalgiris. Penybont trailed 3-0 after the first leg of the Uefa Conference League first qualifying round, leaving them a mountain to climb on their return to Cardiff. The task became even bigger when Aldayr Hernandez found the back of the net with a free header from a corner after just 13 minutes. The Cyrmu Premier side hit straight back when former Newport County man Nathan Wood struck the ball into the bottom corner to level the scores. But any hopes of a comeback were severely dented when second half substitute Owain Warlow was sent off shortly after coming on for violent conduct. Penybont had a shout for a penalty and also came close with a Chris Venables effort while goalkeeper Adam Armstrong pulled off a remarkable double save to deny the Lithuanian side. This result, as well as Haverfordwest's loss to Malta's Floriana, leaves The New Saints as Wales' only representation left in European football this season. They will face Differdange of Luxembourg. Penybont manager Rhys Griffiths said: "I've learned some stuff. I think I made a mistake in the first game being a bit too aggressive probably. "Not to make excuses, we're playing against a team with an €11m budget a year, that's probably six, seven times what TNS's is. "So it was always going to be a tall order, but I'm really proud of the way we competed with them."

Penybont re-united with missing boots for European tie
Welsh side Penybont's preparations for their Uefa Conference League qualifier in Lithuania have been disrupted after losing their luggage en route. The lost luggage included the squad's boots, and the travelling party had to hastily buy replacements from a store in the Lithuanian capital Vilnius, before the luggage was returned to them on Thursday morning. Advertisement Penybont, who qualified for Europe by finishing second in last season's Cymru Premier, face Kauno Zalgiris in Thursday's first qualifying round first leg. The Bridgend-based club side flew out of London City airport on Tuesday, and on arrival in Vilnius found that their bags had been lost in transit. The Polish airline, Lot, said in a statement: "Due to adverse weather conditions en-route and weight limitations at London City airport, we made the decision to leave some baggage behind and offload two passengers. "This decision was made in strict accordance with our highest safety standards. Advertisement "The delayed baggage was delivered to the affected passengers yesterday, and those who were unable to board the original flight were properly assisted and rebooked on the next available service." A spokesperson for the club had confirmed that the luggage lost contained the team's training and playing kit. "We found out our luggage didn't arrive around half an hour after landing after waiting at the baggage carousel. "Only six bags made it through for the whole flight. The airline, for some reason, didn't load the luggage onto the plane." After recieiving the missing belongings in the early hours of matchday, the club's press officer Ryan March said: "Everyone's relieved to get their bags back and we're looking forward to this evening's match." Advertisement A post on the club's X account had initially confirmed that their luggage had not arrived but that the new boots had been "broken in". Rhys Griffiths' side are appearing in the Conference League for the second time having made their debut in the competition in 2023. The second leg will be played at Cardiff International Sports Stadium on 17 July as their own SDM Glass Stadium does not meet Uefa criteria. The winners will face Valur from Iceland or Estonian side Flora Tallinn in the second qualifying round.
